Browserless MCP Overview

The browserless/browserless-mcp MCP server connects LLM clients to Browserless.io for browser automation, web scraping, search, and browser-session operations. It provides tools for single-page extraction, site mapping and crawling, Lighthouse audits, custom Puppeteer code, exports, and interactive browser control. Use it when an agent needs JavaScript-capable web access, multi-page discovery, authenticated sessions, or Browserless account and request diagnostics. The hosted MCP endpoint uses a Browserless API token, so no local installation is required.
